Saturday Morning Foursomes

Q. Yesterday 11 of the 12 members of your squad earned at least a half a point. How do you dial up another a collective team effort today?

STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, that's what our focus is, is just to do that and come out as strong as we did yesterday. And we've got the same session as we did yesterday morning this morning. So hopefully we can produce a similar result.

Message to the guys was just to come out fresh today, pretend yesterday never happened and let's put our foot down and do the same like we did yesterday.

Q. Your playing career, you knew how difficult it was to play with the lead. That's mostly in stroke-play, this is match play, totally different atmosphere. So from a captain standpoint, what do you tell your guys to keep pressing forward today even with that 4-point lead you garnered yesterday?

STEVE STRICKER: Yeah, just that. Just keep building on that lead. Just keep trying to increase that lead. We got them down a little bit, and our goal is to continue that and continue that momentum.

And our guys are fired up still. They're excited. They're fired up to get out here. The crowd is unbelievable. We've got a great day, a little chill in the air, and it's all good.

Q. Feels like Wisconsin out here. Thanks for the time.
